I'm not sure what exactly will happen over NFS.
What I would expect is that NFS would try to access the file
and be permitted by the ACL. The ACL is the final word on
who gets to do what with the file, so if your identities are
all properly matched, the mode bits should not matter. Some
apps would notice the mode bits and freak out, but they have
been broken since ACLs were added to Solaris. The only odd
thing is that NFSv3 clients would not be able to display
the correct information about why you could or could not
access a file, since the ZFS ACL isn't expressible over v3.
